#3 Ability to open .r files

[eric gorr]

It would be wonderful if, when attempting to open a .r
file (i.e. a resource file that's been run through
DeRez), Rezilla would run the file through Rez and show
the resources stored within.

Of course, when saving, it should be run back through
DeRez automatically...unless the user states otherwise
by saving the file as a regular resource file.

Hi Eric,

thanks for the suggestion. I'm not convinced though that it is a job for
Rezilla: when opening a .r file, Rezilla will attempt to open its resource
fork, not the data fork. This .r file could have a resource fork with ckid,
MPSR, etc. resources for instance. The ability of parsing the .r file to
tell you which resources are defined herein is a job for a text editor I'd
say. For instance AlphaX (which I use daily) does this very well: it
opens an .r file in C Mode and its marking mechanism gives you
immediately the list of all the resources and lets you jump to the
corresponding position in the file.

Cheers

Bernard
